Char Siu Pork & Stir Fried Rice
"Char Siu is a type of Cantonese roast meat that I regularly had back in Macau during Chinese New Year. So to bring back some memories I knew this would be the best dish to pair with Tilda’s Premium USA Long Grain Rice. The grains have a clean and fresh taste to absorb all the delicious flavours of this dish. And of course couldn’t have Char Siu without some ginger scallion oil sauce, you can never Char Siu without it! 😮💨" Courtesy of @thatfoodiejess
